If you already own one or more of the previous Buzz! Junior titles then (unless your kids are absolutely nuts for dinosaurs) there's not really enough new content to justify a purchase; there's only so much you can do with four colours and a big red buzzer.

Dinos is a fun new game in the Buzz Junior franchise. Most mini-games have been seen before in a different setting, but it remains a friendly and complete product for kids to spend hours with. It is ideal for kid parties. The team mode is a valuable addition.

With the game populated by ‘real’ people, it will entertain, especially through the wide selection of games but make sure you invite enough kids, because if you have to play to fill in the numbers and an AI dinosaur beats everyone it doesn’t fill the room with much pleasure.

It’s still pretty similar to previous titles from the series, but if you like to play with a group of friends, it’s always nice. Maybe the humor and its friendly nature can compensate for the lack of originality… but only if you don’t have any of the other games from the franchise. [Apr 2008]
